Can we also address .bash_rc, .bash_profile, .profile, /etc/bash.bashrc, disambiguation.

Can we also address .bash_rc, .bash_profile, .profile, /etc/bash.bashrc, disambiguation. I get tired of instructions advising me to put PATH and other modifiers in .bash_profile when that only works for a login shell. Doesn't work, as needed, if you are actually using Linux as your desktop system.
